Slovak Coalition Attempts to Kill Corruption Whistleblower Bill Through Cemetery Legislation Amendment

Slovakia's ruling coalition is trying to bury its own corruption whistleblower legislation by attaching an inadmissible amendment to a bill about cemetery management. The parliamentary session that resumed in January is continuing with this controversial procedural maneuver. The coalition appears to be using parliamentary rules to effectively kill the whistleblower protection bill, which would have strengthened protections for those reporting corruption, by linking it to unrelated cemetery legislation in a way that violates legislative procedures. This move comes as Slovakia faces ongoing scrutiny over corruption and transparency issues, with whistleblower protection being a key concern for anti-corruption efforts in the country.
